+### check-cfg-features
+
+* RFC: [#3013](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3013)
+
+The `-Z check-cfg-features` argument tells Cargo to pass all possible features of a package to
+`rustc` unstable `--check-cfg` command line as `--check-cfg=values(feature, ...)`. This enables
+compile time checking of feature values in `#[cfg]`, `cfg!` and `#[cfg_attr]`. Note than this
+command line options will probably become the default when stabilizing.
+For instance:
+
+```
+cargo check -Z unstable-options -Z check-cfg-features
+```
+
 ## Stabilized and removed features
 
 ### Compile progress
